The Blinding of Samson

Artist: Rembrandt van Rijn
Artwork: The Blinding of Samson
Description: This is a chiaroscuro drawing–a drawing that uses contrasting areas of light and dark to create a sense of drama. The light source comes from a torch held by a Philistine soldier, who is blinding Samson with a sword. The dark background and the figures’ exaggerated expressions heighten the sense of drama.
